A bright two-bedroom shared ownership apartment in Wellingborough, finished to a modern standard and ready to move into. The open-plan kitchen/living area benefits from a newly fitted kitchen with built-in appliances and a Juliet balcony that brings light into the space. Both bedrooms are doubles, the main with an en-suite, and the flat is presented in immaculate decorative condition throughout.
Practical running costs are clear: a service charge of £126.06 monthly, rent of £424.82 (as of 01/04/25) and a low building insurance contribution. The apartment includes allocated off-street parking, UPVC double glazing and good broadband and mobile signals — useful for commuters and home workers. Local amenities, the town centre and Wellingborough train station are within easy reach.
Important notes for buyers: this is a 25% shared ownership sale with 82 years remaining on the lease. The relatively short lease will require urgent attention and could affect mortgage options and future resale. There is an additional £5,000 payment for fixtures and fittings payable on purchase; prospective buyers should factor this into their deposit plans.
This property suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking a low-maintenance, well-presented home close to transport links. It offers immediate move-in condition and commuter convenience, but the lease length and ongoing costs should be considered before proceeding.
